    I have a tikka headlamp that has 3 white leds lasts for about 100 hours on 1 AA (haven't actually used up the first battery). Used it for reading books when camping.

  2. Re:Open Drivers on Radeon 8500/GeForce3 Ti500 comparison · · Score: 1

    But they can be difficult to get working and have caused many crashes and don't work with SMP.

  3. Re:Scary stuff on Scourge: The Once and Future Threat of Smallpox · · Score: 1

    Although I read somewhere that they assumed each person would infect 10 others, CDC data suggests that an infection rate of 2 is more likely.

  4. Re:ridiculous (that is you)! on Kernel 2.4.12 Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but this is really an internal release from the linux kernel group to the distributors. Any large ISV will produce many 'release' builds that would be knocked back by their release/quality control teams. With linux everything is out in the open and you are seeing all these communications. You want to be part of the linux kernel release team then down load it and play with it. If you don't then wait for Redhat, Mandrake, Debian (stable series) to be relesaed.

  5. Re:tripwire note on How To Secure A Cracked Box · · Score: 1

    Use a boot floppy with tripwire on it - put everything into a ramdisk. A second floppy with the tripwire data.

  6. Re:You could use this to initiate/provoke attacks! on CNN Asks "Can You Hack Back?" · · Score: 1

    Or even better - two sites X and Y which you know to have a policy of counter-attacking. Spoof X into attacking Y, stand-back and watch the fireworks.

    He has also forgotten things like FCC regs which he will have to abide by if he is going to make this a product not just a hobby kit.

    Any piece of electrical equipment that goes in a car (or any where for that matter) needs to meet certain regulations.

  8. Re:Well, sortof on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 1

    Well I have written a throw away python script/shell script to find all the duplicate files in the system by computing md5sums and storing them in a hashtable.

  9. Re:We're losing the masters. on A.E. Van Vogt, 1912-2000 · · Score: 1

    In the B's you missed the best of all Iain M. Banks. His Culture books are some of the best SciFi ever written.

  10. Re:No one uses XML?! Are you for real? Or a troll. on XHTML 1.0 now a W3C Recommendation · · Score: 1

    Thank you for proving his point.

    What if the fields require a , ?

    Sure just the syntax a bit but soon you have something that cannot be parsed quite so simply. Also what about more structured data?


  11. Re:One nit to pick on Tim Sweeney On Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    But note that in the book newsspeak was constantly being updated as people adapted to it and began expressing there ideas in it. If the news papers can say the enemy is double-ungood then I can say the leader is double-ungood.

  12. Re:5 Bytes? on Why DVD Encryption Crack was a Cinch · · Score: 1

    Also the music industry has been releasing unsecure IP for years and is still making large profits.

    The whole encyrption thing was just to make it a bit harder for home copying (pros could always simply copy the whole DVD).
